3. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC OPERATING SEGMENT AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS<br />

3A) GEOGRAPHIC OPERATING SEGMENTS<br />

Operating segments are defined as the components of an entity oriented to the production and sale of goods and services, which are subject to<br />

risks and benefits different from those associated with other business segments. CEMEX operates principally in the construction industry<br />

segment through the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete and aggregates.<br />

CEMEX operates geographically on a regional basis. Each regional manager supervises and is responsible for all the business activities in the<br />

countries comprising the region. These activities refer to the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete and<br />

aggregates. The country manager, who is one level below the regional manager in the organizational structure, reports his business unit<br />

operating results including all the operating sectors, to the regional manager. CEMEX’s management internally evaluates the results and<br />

performance of each country and region for decision-making purposes, following a vertical integration approach. According to this approach,<br />

in the daily operations, management allocates economic resources on a country basis rather than on an operating component basis.<br />

The main indicator used by CEMEX’s management to evaluate the performance of each country is operating EBITDA, which CEMEX<br />

defines as operating income plus depreciation and amortization. This indicator, which is presented in the selected financial information by<br />

geographic operating segment, is consistent with the information used by CEMEX’s management for decision-making purposes. The<br />

accounting policies applied to determine the financial information by geographic operating segment are consistent with those described in<br />

note 2. CEMEX recognizes sales and other transactions between related parties based on market values.<br />

Selected statements of operation information by geographic operating segment for the year ended December 31, 2008 has been modified as a<br />

result of the presentation of discontinued operations in connection with the sale of CEMEX’s operations in Australia (notes 3B and 11A).<br />
